ATTENTION

Precautions to observe when connecting other devices to the projector

• Whenever attempting to connect other devices to the projector, please thoroughly

read the manual of each device to be connected.

• TURN OFF ALL DEVICES prior to connecting them to the projector. Attempting to

connect a live device to the projector may generate extremely loud noises or other

abnormalities that may result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or

projector. Refer to the “Technical” for the pin assignment of connectors and

RS-232C communication data.

• Make sure that you connect devices to the correct port. Incorrect connection may

result in malfunction and/or damage to the device and/or projector.

• Some cables have to be used with core set. Use the accessory cable or a designated-

type cable for the connection. For cables that have a core only at one end,

connect the core to the projector.

• Secure the screws on the connectors and tighten.

CONNECTING YOUR DEVICES

Devices You Can Connect to the Projector

(Refer to this section for planning your device

configuration to use for your presentation.)

CAUTION • Incorrect connecting could result in fire or electrical shock. Please

read this manual and the separate “Product Safety Guide”.

Ports and Cables

Refer to the table below to find out which projector port and cable to use for connecting a

given device. Use this table for determining which cables to prepare.

About Plug-and-Play Capability

• This projector is compatible with VESA DDC 1/2B. Plug-and-Play can be achieved by

connecting this projector to computers that are VESA DDC (display data channel)

compatible. Please take advantage of this function by connecting the accessory RGB

cable to the rgb port (DDC 1/2B compatible). Plug-and-Play may not work

properly if any other type of connection is attempted.

• Plug-and-Play is a system composed of the computer, its operating system and

peripheral equipment (i.e. display devices).

• Please use the standard drivers as this projector is a Plug-and-Play monitor.

CONNECTING YOUR DEVICES (continued)

Connecting to a Computer

ATTENTION Whenever attempting to connect a laptop computer to the projector,

be sure to activate the laptop's RGB external image output (set the laptop to CRT

display or to simultaneous LCD and CRT display). For details on how this is done,

please refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding laptop computer.

• Some computers may have multiple display screen modes. Use of some of these

modes will not be possible with this projector.

Remove the battery cover

Slide back and remove the battery cover in the direction of the

arrow.

Insert the batteries

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

CAUTION

Precautions to observe in regards to the batteries

Always handle the batteries with care and use them only as directed. Improper use may result in

battery cracking or leakage, which could result in fire, injury and/or pollution of the surrounding environment.

• Keep the battery away from children and pets.

•

Be sure to use only the batteries specified for use with the remote control. Do not mix new batteries with used ones.

•

When inserting batteries, verify that the plus and minus terminals are aligned correctly (as indicated in the remote control).

• When you dispose the battery, you should obey the law in the relative area or country.

12

Putting batteries into the remote control unit

13

• The remote control works with both

the projector's front and rear remote

sensors.

• The range of the remote sensor on

the front is 3 meters with a 90-degree

range (45 degrees to the left and

right of the remote sensor), and back

is 3 meters with a 60-degree range.

• Since the remote control uses

infrared light to send signals to the

projector (Class 1 LED), be sure to

use the remote control in an area free

from obstacles that could block the

remote control's output signal to the

projector.

Precautions to observe when using the remote control

• Do not drop or otherwise expose the remote control to physical impact.

• Do not get the remote control wet or place it on wet objects. Doing so may result in

malfunction.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control and store them in a safe place if you

won't be using the remote control for an extended period.

• Replace the batteries whenever the remote control starts to malfunction.

• When strong light, such as direct sunlight or light from an extremely close range

(such as from an inverter fluorescent lamp), hits the projector's remote sensor, the

remote control may cease to function. Adjust the direction of the projector to keep

light from directly hitting the projector's remote sensor.
